2010 LTD. CUSTOM V-ROCKER question

mutinyclothing — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:25:08 GMT

What is the LTD. in the LTD. CUSTOM V-ROCKER? I know it's limited but what's so limited about it? Also I don't see it listed on the board base sticker, I only see Grip & Rip Edge Tune.
Does this board have Pressure Distribution Edges?

Thanks

WTB: Board, Boots, Bindings. Anyone near Vail/Beaver Creek. ASAP

AFISurfer1 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:07:17 GMT

I move to Vail tomorrow (Sunday Nov. 22) and I'm looking for board, boots, bindings, jacket, pants, gloves, goggles, etc...I'm not looking for crap, but I'm also not looking for a slightly discounted expensive new board. I'm looking for between a 156 and 161 with boots and bindings that will fit a 10.5 boot. I'm looking for a more of an all mountain board in good condition. Something preferrably only a season old if that.

As far as the outerwear is concerned I'm 6'3 and 165. I wear a Large Jacket and my waist is 32/32. If anyone can help me out with any of this reply with what you have and preferably pics. I won't have a vehicle so I need it delivered or meet you somewhere around Vail.

I know this is short notice, but I need to purchase this by tomorrow (Sunday). I get in town around 3 so if there's anyone out there in this location with gear for sale please reply. Thanks a lot!

shaun's white boots 2009 details

epidaur — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:11:37 GMT

Guys hallo

Today i bought shaun white's boots but the model of 2009 and i have a question. In burton's official site is written that shaun white's boots 2010 are for all mountain-freestyle riding. I am wondering if also the previous model(mine)is an all mountain-freestyle model. I am asking you because i can't find anywhere details about the older model.
Thank you in advance!!!

How does the joystick's v-rocker feel off kickers?

adamlkspowder — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:47:01 GMT

Sure v rocker sounds great on rails and boxes, but I like kickers more. How will it handle the take offs and landings? Stability? Starting to spin off the lip? Landing after a big spin? washout? I'm comparing the joystick 57 to a custom x 58 on how they handle jumps.

burton verdict

cough133 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:22:49 GMT

does anyone on here know anything about this board. i have seen it in stores, but nothing on this or any other sites ever. i heard something about it being a limited edition. what is the story on this mystery board and is it any good?

Anyone have problems moving the highback sideways on newer bind?

oldskeezy — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:01:44 GMT

I have used a pair of Frankenbinders for several seasons and love them.
CFX baseplates, 02 Leather CFX toe straps, CO2 ankle straps and Mission highbacks.
I love the setup as it is light as hell and really adjustable and stiff.

I was looking at getting a newer pair of bindings for my Malolo pow board (CO2, Cartel, etc)--so I dont have to deal with removing bindings--making sure I get them back to where they ought to be when I change back, etc etc.

Anyways, I am wondering if anyone has had any issues getting the highback to a parallel position on the edge with the newer designs. I ride both highbacks to almost exactly parallel. What I noticed on the P1's I just got, is I cant really tweak it as much as the Mission highback to get it where I like to be. I just cant get it to go to that angle, given my 21* angle.
I ride 21* in the front, -12* on back.
I guess I am just running up against a design limitation here.
Oh well, I guess if Snow White can rock those designs successfully then I have nothing to worry about!

Board for Snowkiting

bermudabums — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:45:57 GMT

The ideal snowkite seems to have low radius sidecut, preferably true twin (since most will ride 80% heelside in both directions), with higher stiffness (since travelling at signficant speed).

Any suggestions on the ideal board -- I'm considering the Twin, but am somewhat concerned about it's stiffness level (too soft)....and am considering Custom X for stiffness, but not sure if the fact that it is "directional" will affect riding switch (mainly heelside both directions) for the bulk of my riding.

I'm an intermediate rider...I dont' want a dedicated "snowkite board" since I will also use this on the mountain as an all terrain/freeride board. I don't spend much time in the park, but may spend up to 20% of my time there in the future. I currently have a 2007 Custom 162.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
Ross

2010 Stroker Pants in True Black.... Whats up with the color?

carbonLORD — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:19:33 GMT

My first post. Sorry I searched already but can't seem to find any information here, google, anywhere....

I must first say the fit of Burtons 2010 line up is disappointing at best. Baggy fit may as well be two sleeping bags strapped onto my legs. Team fit was not that much better. To my surprise, slim fit was looking pretty good on me, (I'm 6'4" at 190 lbs) but they make all of two styles in the slim fit for 2010.

I own a pair of gray AK's from 2008 that are a Large/regular length but they were gray and just a little too short (would ride up when I bent my knees), besides I really wanted a black pair of pants this season.

Which brings me to my original question, finally. If you read this far, thanks.

Now, whats up with the color "True Black"? These Stroker pants are posted online and on the Burton web site and look black. When I went to the Burton store in Chicago and tried them on, they were light gray, but the tag said "True Black" and when I look around online, some sites have black, and some have the same gray color, all with the same "True Black" description.

I really do not want to order them from a site (or on eBay) where they look black only to receive gray pants so if anyone has any insight please share.

Thanks crew.

09 Fix vs 09 ConDom

iCeDuNiNc — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:46:13 GMT

I am stuck between both boards, heres the thing both are at relatively affordable prices for me but differ in waist width. I have size 10.5 boots and run L bindings, my issue is that the 52mm width on the Fix may not be wide enough, the ConDom on the other hand is 54mm's in width and a little more affordable. I have had to ride with toe drag before, and it is not something which I would like to do again. I ride 15 and -15 if that helps at all, any information or tips would be awesome guys

UnInc EST Bindings

pillar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:54:16 GMT

just got the 09 uninc EST bindings in....

are there supposed to be no gas pedals on these?

i guess since that... there's no disc/base... you're 'closer' to the board... there may not be a need for them.

wondering how they'll feel without the additional support.

are all EST bindings like this?
